Gabitril as a mood stabilizer and side effects

Has anyone experienced severe back and abdominal pain from gabitril. I am looking for something that can control my mood swings and extreme anxiety which eventually turns into rage

I got ideas of reference ( a type of paranoia/psychosis) while on it, went away overnight, took it for social anxiety, stopped it, terrible experience!

2-6 mg just made me sleepy, nothing else. My pdoc says it's popular as an anti-anxiety med with some of his colleagues, though, so it must work for someone.

>Didn't experience abdominal pain with it but 2mg made me a zombie in the morning and it also seemed to make me extremely irritable...I tend to react atypically to lots of meds though, so that may not be typical at all. Didn't seem to help at all with the anxiety...I take it every now and then if I can't sleep. Expensive waste of time for me. Worrier.
